Definitions

  • the invention relates to a treatment booth, such as a spray booth.
  • the invention is concerned with a treatment booth comprising a working space bounded by a first intermediate perforate floor underneath which is located at least one intermediate wall which forms a further intermediate floor and which adjoins a washing-liquid feed device located adjacent the further intermediate floor such that the booth can be rinsed with washing fluid by said liquid, and comprising a flow-off edge on said device on its side facing away from the washing-liquid feed device, and a washing-out device for washing out particles or other impurities from the spent air extracted from the working space through the first intermediate floor, the washing-out device having a slit-shaped nozzle orifice which extends aproximately horizontally and which is limited by an upper edge and a lower edge both of which can be fed with washing liquid.
  • Such spray booths with so-called horizontal or flat washing-out are known, for example, from German Auslegeschrift No. 1,427,597.
  • the spray booth described here possesses, under an intermediate floor, which is formed by a grating, on which the workers stand, two intermediate walls which are inclined relative to the horizontal and, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the treatment booth, are arranged approximately in the form of a low-angled V.
  • the walls descend from washing-fluid feed devices extending along the longitudinal edges of the treatment booth, each in the form of an overflow trough, towards the longitudinal centre plane of the booth and are limited at the bottom by flow-off edges forming the upper and lower edges of the nozzle orifice.
  • a pool of washing liquid Located under these intermediate walls arranged in the form of a V is a pool of washing liquid extending to a position under a spent-air stack located next to the treatment booth through which the spent air from the booth is extracted.
  • the washing liquid running down these walls is atomised and behind the nozzle orifice is swirled intensively, in an expansion chamber located between the latter and the spent-air stack, with the spent air extracted from the working space above the grating. This results in the desired washing-out effect.
  • the expansion chamber is located under one inclined intermediate wall and above the pool of washing liquid.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a treatment booth, especially a spray booth, with so-called horizontal or flat washing-out of the spent air, in the working space, in which the noise level is lower than in the known spray both described, without the efficiency of the washing out device being impaired.
  • the washing-out device forms, undeneath or below the level of the first intermediate floor, a spent-air channel which extends approximately horizontally and which ends at the nozzle orifice, which is covered in the direction of the working space by a cover and which is at a horizontal distance of at least 20 cm from the flow-off edge of the lower intermediate wall.
  • the actual noise source namely the nozzle orifice of the washing-out device
  • the actual noise source namely the nozzle orifice of the washing-out device
  • the object of the invention has hitherto not been achieved in spray booths with so-called horizontal or flat washing-out.
  • Spray booths of this type have assumed considerable importance since they do not require any basement in the building accommodating the treatment booth, as is the case in treatment booths with so-called vertical washing-out.
  • the spent air from the booth is not extracted towards the side, but towards the bottom, so that the washing-out device requires a considerable overall height underneath the working space.
  • the nozzle orifice is not followed in the direction of flow by an expansion chamber extending downwardly into a pool of washing fluid in which impurities can accumulate, so that they impair the efficiency of the washing-out device, since according to a further feature of the invention the pool of washing fluid is replaced in the expansion chamber by a drained surface which preferably has a descending gradient in the direction of flow.
  • the mounting fluid feed device is in the form of an overflow trough adjoining the intermediate wall.
  • a washing-fluid guide channel extending from the washing-fluid feed device, that is to say, in particular, the overflow trough, to the upper edge of the nozzle orifice, is provided for feeding washing fluid to the upper edge of the nozzle orifice.
  • the preferred arrangement is one in which a washing-fluid guide channel leads from the flow-off edge of the intermediate wall to the upper edge of the nozzle orifice.
  • the lower surface of the spent-air channel can be defined by a pool of washing fluid, via which one nozzle-orifice edge is then also supplied with washing fluid.
  • a pool of washing fluid via which one nozzle-orifice edge is then also supplied with washing fluid.
  • the horizontal distance between the nozzle orifice and the flow-off edge of the intermediate wall is considerably greater than 20 cm, it is recommended to provide for the spent-air channel a bottom which is inclined in the direction of flow and is rinsed with washing fluid, but drained, in order to prevent the possibility of deposits building up in a relatively long space which is covered at the top and is therefore accessible only with difficulty.
  • the washing fluid, running down via the intermediate wall can also be utilised to feed the lower edge of the nozzle orifice with washing fluid, by arranging the flow-off edge of the intermediate wall above the bottom of the spent-air channel in such a way that washing fluid running off from the flow-off edge passes onto the bottom of the spent-air channel.
  • the flow-off edge In view of the fact that the washing fluid running off from the flow-off edge is carried along by the air flow, it is not necessary for the flow-off edge to be located exactly above the bottom of the spent-air channel, as seen in the vertical direction.
  • overflow edge of the overflow trough from which a washing-fluid guide channel leads to the nozzle orifice should preferably be made serrated or corrugated.
  • these overflow edges may also be subdivided into individual portions and be vertically adjustable individually, so that the supply of washing fluid to the nozzle orifice and/or to the intermediate wall located above the spent-air channel can be controlled.
  • the nozzle orifice may adjoin an accessible expansion chamber, so that the region located behind the nozzle orifice in the direction of flow can be cleaned easily.
  • the treatment booth may have a single washing-out device according to the invention, so that the spent air from the booth is extracted towards one side only.
  • a spent-air channel may be provided with an intermediate wall and a nozzle orifice on each of the two sides of the vertical longitudinal centre plane of the booth.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical section, perpendicular to the direction in which articles to be treated pass through a treatment booth, embodying the invention
  • FIG. 1A shows the region identified by "A" in FIG. 1 on a larger scale than in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 2 is a section along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1A;
  • FIG. 3 is a vertical section similar to FIG. 1 through a further treatment booth embodying the invention.
  • a treatment booth has a roof 10 and two side walls 12 erected on the floor 14 of a building.
  • a working space 16, provided inside the booth, is limited at the top by an intermediate ceiling 18 and at the bottom by an intermediate floor 20, both being in the form of gratings, so that conditioned fresh air, preferably circulated, purified and conditioned air, can be supplied to the working space 16 from above and extracted through the intermediate floor 20 at the bottom.
  • the longitudinal centre plane of the treatment booth is denoted by chain dotted line 22 and this plane indicates the direction of movement through the booth of articles to be treated in the working space, for exampe, vehicle bodies.
  • Spent air from the working space 16 is extracted via a spent-air channel 24 (FIGS. 1 and 1A) defined by a channel bottom 26 and, at the top, by an intermediate wall 28 adjacent which is an overflow trough 30 extending in the longitudinal direction of the booth.
  • the channel bottom 26 rests on the building floor 14.
  • the intermediate wall 28 and the overflow trough 30 rest on legs 32 which are either supported on the channel bottom 26 or extend through channel bottom 26 and rest on the building floor 14.
  • the spent-air channel 24 ends at a washing-out nozzle 34, beyond which is located an expansion chamber 36 leading into a spent-air stack 38.
  • the spent air extracted via the stack 38 by means of a fan (not shown), is conditioned, if appropriate, and then supplied to the working space 16 again.
  • a door 40 is located in the wall of the expansion chamber 36, and the bottom 42 of the expansion chamber, adjoining the washing-out nozzle 34, is drained via a drain pipe 44.
  • the washing-out nozzle 34 is in the form of a slit-shaped orifice which extends horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the treatment booth. As required, several such slit-shaped nozzle orifices can be arranged in series in this direction.
  • the overflow trough 30 has at each of its longitudinal edges, one or more weir elements 46 and 48 (FIGS. 1, 1A and 2) arranged in series and are vertically adjustable. To facilitate this adjustment, the side walls 30a, 30b of the overflow trough 30 have threaded holes, spaced apart longitudinally, for screws 50, and the weir elements have slots 52.
  • the overflow edge 54 (FIG. 2) of the weir element 48 is serrated to keep impurities floating on the washing liquid away from the washing-out nozzle 34.
  • the overflow trough 30 is fed continuously by means not shown with washing liquid some of which flows over the weir element or elements 46 and rinses the top surface of the intermediate wall 28 inclined towards the longitudinal centre plane 22. From a flow-off edge 28a (FIG. 1) of intermediate wall 28, the washing liquid passes onto the channel bottom 26, rinses this and as a result of its inclination flows down to the lower edge 34a of washing-out nozzle 34. Edge 34 forms a weir.
  • the washing liquid flowing over the weir element 48 is conveyed by a guide plate 60 to flow against a slide 62, the lower edge of which forms the upper edge 34b of the washing-out nozzle 34. Slide 62 is held against the side wall 12 of the booth so as to be vertically adjustable by means of screws and slots.
  • the noise generated by the washing-out nozzle 34 is masked, in the direction of the working space 16, by the overflow trough 30 and the intermediate wall 28, as a result of which the noise level in the working space 16 can be reduced very considerably in comparison with conventional treatment booths with flat washing-out.
  • the orifice edges of the washing-out nozzle 34, the lower edge 34a and the upper edge 34b, are corrugated, thus further increasing the washing-out effect.
  • On the channel bottom 26 is a pool of washing liquid 66, fed continuously with washing liquid, which flows off via the channel bottom 26 and is atomised in the washing-out nozzle 34.
  • the pool of washing liquid 66 of the first embodiment is replaced by an overflow trough 166, to which extends the bottom 126 of the spent-air channel 124.
